Jane at once made up her mind that, as soon as the coast was quite clear, she would slip down into the passages. She would wait until lunch had been cleared away and the servants were safely out of the way. No one was likely to come into the hall, and the whole thing would be o much less terrifying than another midnight ex- pedition Ember excused himself before lunch was over, and she heard him drive away a few minutes later: but Lady Heritage sat on, her untasted coffee beside her She sat with her chin in her hand, | looking out of the window. and it was | obvious enough that her thoughts were far away.

Renata’'s dress really did have a pocket, which, of course, made the dropping of the handkerchief quite inexcusable. The passage was much less terri- fying when one had a light of one's own instead of the distant glimmer of somebody else's and the horrid possibility of being let at any mo- ment in total darkness, With no idea of one’s whereabouts or of how to get out.
